Biotransforming the "Forever Chemicals": Trends and Insights from Microbiological Studies on PFAS.
Review in Environmental science & technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are recalcitrant contaminants of emerging concern. Research efforts have been dedicated to PFAS microbial biotransformation in the hopes of developing treatment technologies using microorganisms as catalysts. Here, we performed a meta-analysis by extracting and standardizing quantitative data from 97 microbial PFAS biotransformation studies and comparing outcomes
